    We just use hair clips, they cost basically nothing, and they are SUPER easy to install and take off.

    The only problem with that I would imagine is that it dosent look secure enough for doing something like the choreo in Hamilton for ensemble

      There’s an amazing video on Adam Savage’s channel where the A2 describes the mics for Hamilton, btw! Personally I love using wig/toupee clips and elastic, as demonstrated in a lecture from Shure

    What kind of microphone is this?

    • @DPAmicrophones
      @DPAmicrophones  4 роки тому +5

      It is a lavalier mic. In this case a 4060, but we now also have an even smaller lav mic - the 6060. :-)
